7tv - Recommended miniatures

[fanfavorite]

I was wondering if anyone could share any sources for some spy movie/tv show minis for the start of a 7tv collection. I am familiar with Crooked Dice and Copplestone's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's lines but I know there has to be more out there. Any tips and leads would be met with a hearty thanks and a welcome appreciation.

I look forward to any replies,

thanks,

Artizan also does a range of KKBB figures. A lot of their Thrilling Tales figures would also work for 7TV.

Many of the Reaper "Chronoscope" figures are based on 70s TV & movie heros & villians.

Thanks for picking up the rules!

Artizan, Gripping Beast, Killer B, Khurasan, Pulp Figures and Reaper all make up models in my Casts.

Thanks guys, looks like I have a wealth of resource to draw on now.

Of course! It was only a matter of time. Saw a board made up for it on the Salute thread and some mention of it in blog's, specially The Dead Lead project, but I just on impulse picked up the pdf last night. Looks like a blast and a half.

 Also Golgo Island miniatures and Legends, sold by East Riding Miniatures.

 I live in the US, and got prompt service.   Great sculpts.

 How can anyone pass up on "Not-Bolo"?

 And on a side note....7TV Rocks!!!!!!

Gee this guy sure has some balls! Now you need a Jean Claude model to replay the movie Bloodsports... (as it was called in Germany, don't know the English name).

In the US it's Bloodsport.  Not a big difference.  I have that guy and he is an awesome sculpt from Kev White.  They also have some Not-Chuck Norris figures in the main Golgo range that are pretty cool.

Statuesue Miniatures has a few that work as well.  I believe Mr. Rae has done a few for Crooked Dice.  Really like the Indigo Wilde figure.

Here's my version, painted by Dags:



Andrew (Statuesque) Rae has sculpted a few for us too and we have another pair pencilled in for October too, plus a quick head sprue collecting up the two Femdroid heads and adding a new one.

And cheers Orkdung - glad you like the game

Finishing touches to the Summer Special supplement being made as we speak. Expect an early August release for this.

Thanks again for some great suggestions- but now I have a more focused request. I am going to be collecting a force for S.H.I.V.A. and I have all of it just about covered conceptually except for Kali, the Guru's ward and fearsome femme fatale. If anyone has the 7tv rulebook please consult it for reference on her description but otherwise I'm looking for a total bombshell armed with a knife and/or blow gun (knife is just fine as far as whats repped on the miniature) in a jumper or maybe some sort of tribal meets modern get up? Remember she is an Englishwoman, an heiress to boot- some so sense of fierce class is preferred. I just need to find the perfect model for her before I go any further.

I wonder what Crooked Dice suggests? Any help here would be very much appreciated. +1 points for any leads!

[uti long smile]

She's basically Caroline Munroe (uuummmm...)

There's nothing perfect out there at the mo IMHO - but Reaper Chronoscope, HF Adventurers or Copplestone Future Wars might have a suitable Femme Fatale you could borrow. At a push, a BTD Leela might do the trick, but can't guarantee the casting quality!

As a glamorous co-star, she would probably go through a numder of costume changes, so I think there is a bit of artistic licence for the outfit.

I'd love to commit her to lead at some stage, but it wouldn't be until sometime in 2012 I'm afraid

What else are you using for S.H.I.V.A forces?

Have some Martial arts Movie respect will you!



You actually need a cool hip chinese martial artist, turned spy to infiltrate a renagade shoalin monk's martial arts tournament!

(Yes I know the sculpt is based on Bloodsport Bolo, but Enter the Dragon is much more in keeping a film with the 7TV super spy theme.

Don't forget Crooked Dice do a fair few figs themselves.

Hellloooooo 1960's- meowza! (edit: more like 1970's but still my reaction is the same: )

What else are you using for S.H.I.V.A forces?

Lots of stuff, from a couple of genuine sources. For the Guru- obviously your Guru sculpt which is fabulous! For the Thuggees I'm *going* (choice word "going" as they're still unreleased) for the Pulp Figure Thuggee cultists:




follow the link for more variants: http://www.pulpfigures.com/new.php?custID=981451172411309559834

and a Reaper Chronoscope Thugee Cultist (thought I don't like his jack boots- curly shoes would of been much more prefered ):




For the rank 'n' file there are a plethora of cultist models I could have embellished with the S.H.I.V.A. symbol and I want to model the security guards/technicians to look like your art illustrated in the book. Field caps with insignia instead of hard hats. Maybe with some exotic facial hair. That's still to be found though... (any suggestions?) Hope you like it- once I get them all going I'll be sure to post some parts 1 and 2 S.H.I.V.A.

Any other suggestions from the illustrious Crooked Dice?
